  1. 3 shotgun rounds into a dog. Wow definitely a little bitch.
  2. Wow, anyone who shoots a dog simply because it looks dangerous is a little bitch.
  3. Perhaps in computer/server IT work, but in his and my fields of copiers, printers, and document management they are both sought after certs, 95% of the guys don't have either, and our manufactures have them as prereqs for lots of their advanced factory training courses.
  4. Not sure what all is good in your industry. If I had to guess though N+ would be a great foundation for the technical side. I guess it would depend on how much technical hands on your having to do, ie installs, and other document management configuring.
  5. I saw a short film a few months ago on chinas technology recycling industry. Basically all the computers, games, TV's and anything else we throw away gets taken back to china and peasants bust them down to the raw components to be recycled into new stuff to sell. Very nasty place, actually worse than most of those photos.
  6. Very nicely executed. The first one is at Rickenbacker? I'm not sure where the second one is, but it works very well.
  7. Tractor

    I'm A Dad...

    Yeap, thats the new dad smile alright. Your cheeks are gonna hurt for a few weeks, but you'll get used to it.
  8. The banks are still a great bargain for longer term. Actually pretty much anything is a bargain right now.
  9. Actually a lot of the area around the US was pretty bad until the middle of the last century. Check out the mine land reclamation act for information about what the mines did to southeastern OH. Funny that some people think turning the US communist would be a good thing. China is killing its people and land for the "mother land."
  10. Thanks, its a dream at this stage, but becoming more likely every day. Not so much the dream of being a pro photog, but the dream of having my own full time business. Working for the man is something my wife and I don't really wanna be doing till we're dead so we're motivated plenty;-)
  11. Well I work 8-5 M-F then in the evenings I play EVE-ONLINE (doesn't require a lot of work, but is interesting to chat with people everywhere who are also nerds.) I work on images from my photography business, read tech manuals and other nerdy stuff while the EVE client is running. I also usually have a major project that I'm working on. At the moment that project is my observatory and its nearly finished so I'll probably come up with more interesting things to add to it through the winter.
  12. Even my 2005 Taco is in the recall, but I don't see how anyone could get the floor mat stuck like that. They'd have to be pretty stupid in the first place, but I guess its every engineers job to protect stupid people from themselves. I've often wondered what will happen when my truck's gas pedal position sensor (for lack of better name) decides that I floored it.
  13. Hehe well we're into "anything" that doesn't include shit or piss. The best advice I can give is keep communication open.
  14. Very true the vehicle had no fuel, no explosives, and wasn't built to take an impact at all. Just a device made of the lightest materials we have on earth and the only difficult conditions it was built for was simply the temperature changes that occur in space.
  15. Yeah NASA has about the lamest frame rate of anything I've ever seen. You'd think that even though its a few "light minutes" to get data from the moon to here you could at least have a constant stream so that your recieving high quality data that is just delayed a few minutes. Oh well I guess its not in the budget.
  16. If he fails, America is safer, richer, and an all around better place to be.
  17. The satellite recording the crash was the vehicle that hit the moon. It was a two part vehicle. The one with the camera hit last. Oh and the satellite was orbiting the moon for a long time doing surveys. It was at the end of its usefulness and since I think it was an Indian science team that discovered small amounts of water on the moon a few weeks ago, NASA was attempting to "one up" them by confirming whether there was more than just trace H2O particles via smashing the satellite into the moon hoping to penetrate enough to stir up more water.
  18. The vast majority of satellites that effect our everyday lives are launched by private companies (such as this one http://www.ilslaunch.com/ ). Remember there are something around 2000-3000 satellites in orbit of earth that we know of and authorities admit there's probably at least that many that we don't. I'm a space nerd and to me NASA's been a waste of money ever since we left the moon for the last time. No matter what we should be exploring using humans instead of wasting money on the ISS program so that we can send school children's tomato seed samples into orbit.
  19. Not likely to be able to see it from Ohio anyway unless somehow it will be bright enough to see in daylight which I'm gonna say it isn't. Another problem of daylight will be the atmospheric turbulence causing a disruption of the image so I'll be impressed if its viewable from here. The west coast should have a good view though. My scope maintains its full resolution down to 1/2 sq mile of the moons surface so if I thought I could see it I'd have called off work.
  20. Hehe your not thinking like a lawyer, it wasn't lost it was removed by the evil company and that in itself is as good as any proof of their fault.
  21. I like how the shows background music is some good ole heavy metal.
  22. My company just got the Blue Jackets as customers and we just put in a pretty cool print shop so we get free tickets all the time.
